Welcome

Welcome to Australia! It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the 9th International Conference on Dendrochronology 2014. We have developed a fantastic program covering a wide range of interests and issues in dendrochronology. The Conference will not only showcase the frontiers of current research, but also generate discussion on key issues that our discipline is facing today and in the future. The Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre also provides a relaxed and scenic environment for reconnecting with colleagues and friends and developing new connections.

Hemisphere, we look forward to providing you with an enriching Australian experience and hope you are able to take full advantage of visiting this remarkable part of the world. The Local Organising Committee and the Conference Organisers are here to assist in making this a wonderful experience for all delegates, so please let us know if we can be of any help. Again, welcome and we hope you enjoy the Conference! Patrick Baker Conference Chair, Local Organising Committee
